How can we make sure their privacy claims about search aren't bullshit?

(I still trust them though, just pointing out it is an equivalent problem)

Cool! I love the concept of Mobilizon, but the user experience has bitten me quite often. Gancio looks really nice!

Shoutout to https://f-droid.org/en/packages/deckers.thibault.aves.libre/, which shows your pictures on a map without any cloud service.

In Chiba city, it is described as "The sky above the port"

Also a great option, but closed source

I used this one or a similar one a while back. Pure magic. It started downloading a ton of stuff, and half an hour later I was greated by a (slow) macOS, good enough to do some tests of my webapp on Safari.

There will never be 'more momentum' if you don't build it. Just kick it off and host this person, others will follow.

I use maps for navigation (mostly OsmAnd) and improve OpenStreetMap with my self-made website (https://mapcomplete.org)

!openstreetmap@lemmy.ml - but that's also because I helped to get it going during the first reddit-waves ;)

Well, in a way, they do provide accurate geolocalisation for indoor environments based on wifi networks. And it is right that having internet/bluethooth access also (more or less) reveals your location; but that doesn't make it ethical.

Do you feel like adding them into OpenStreetMap? If so, https://mapcomplete.org/surveillance makes it easy for you.

 

HI all,

Sorry for spamming, but seeing that the other OSM-post got quite some traction, I wanted to point out that the OSM-community here is coming to life as well.

You can post your beginner questions into the newbie friday thread or brag about your mapping projects into the showoff sunday thread

At last, please post OSM-related content over there! We need to get this party started...

 

Hi,

The current mod hasn't been active for over a year: https://lemmy.ml/u/Ben_on_Lemmy

I'd like to take over the baton now that some activity is picking up there (and appoint some more mods as well).

Kind regards, Pietervdvn

 

Hi,

I'm very active within OpenStreetMap. As many refugees from Reddit, I'm taking shelter here and found the OSM-community.

Hover, there is only one moderator there, which seems to be inactive for >3 years. Is there a process to make me moderator of that community? I'll make sure to create a moderation team there as well.
